IOSCO surveys the effects of storage warehouses on prices in commodity derivatives markets


IOSCO is researching the potential effects of storage infrastructure on the integrity of the price formation process of commodity derivatives in member jurisdictions.

IOSCO's Committee 7 is charged with the work. The first stage in the Committee’s work has been to develop a questionnaire  to gather information to inform its research. IOSCO is asking its members to respond to the questionnaire and to encourage other relevant entities in their jurisdictions (storage and market infrastructure providers, market participants and end users) to do so as well. There are no restrictions on who can answer the questionnaire.

IOSCO believes that the questionnaire is a fundamental part of its work in this area, as it will inform its thinking going forward.

To help respondents complete the questionnaire, Committee 7 has divided the questions into a number of chapters focusing on different aspects of the storage infrastructure environment. At a minimum, the Committee asks that respondents complete those chapters as they are set out in the table in the introductory section. However, respondents are welcome to answer all or part of this questionnaire as they wish. The closing date for responses is 31 October 2014.
